Daniel Siwek came onto the scene in 1994 with his first film project, The Petition For Boo Berry, and followed it up with, Bon Bon Bondage: Boo Berrty's Casting Couch, while at Cal Arts film school. He shot some hip-hop and punk music videos ("Left For Dead" for the Voodoo Glow SKulls), and later got more into writing for several outlets (LA Weekly, Music Connection, etc,). He claims to have learned more about film working as a clerk in the legendary Eddie Brandt's video store than in his years in filmschol.
